The candidates are Nikki Nice and Kirk Pankratz. See a sample ballot here.

The winner will serve the remainder of the four-year term for the seat, which was vacated when the previous Council representative from Ward 7 resigned. The term ends in April 2021.

The seat is currently held by Councilman Lee E. Cooper Jr., who the Council appointed June 5 to fill the vacancy until the special election.

Pankratz and Nice earned the most votes in the primary special election on Aug. 28.
